TABLE.

Specification of Letters Patent. 7 V Patented Sept 17, 1918 Application filed June 21, 1918. Serial No. 241,180.

Be it known that I, JAMES P. \HINES, a

citizen of the United States, and a resident of Bethlehem, in the county of Northampton and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Tables, of which the following is a specificatlon.

My invention is an improvement in tables, and has for its object to provide a table especially adapted for cashiers use for making change quickly, wherein the table is pro face of the block being horizontal, as shown,

and a back plate 41 is arranged at the rear of the block, the said plate in the present instance being integral with the block.

The upper face of the block is provided with grooves or passages 5, the said grooves or passages in the present instance being nine in number and extending from the rear of the table to the front. These passages are adapted to receive rouleaux of coin indicated at 6, each passage receiving one denomination of coin, as, for instance, coins of the value of l, 295, 3c, 1, 5e, 10, 25 and The block is also provided with vertical openings 7 circular in cross section and for receiving bills indicated at 8, the bills having their ends pushed into the open ings. The plate 4 is provided with legends indicated at 9 designating the character or denomination of coin, or bill that is to go into the passages and into the openings.

In use, the passages 5 are filled with the coin properly arranged to quickly make change, as, for instance, in that passage having the deslgnating legend 1c, pennies are placed one along side the other and the passages are just wide enough to receive a penny and just deep enough to hold the penny approximately flush with the top of the block.

In the passage designated by the legend 2c, piles of two pennies are placed, and in that passage designated by the legend 3gb, piles of three pennies are placed. In the passage with the designating legend le, piles of four pennies are placed, while in the passage designated by. the legend 5 piles of nickels are placed. Single dimes are arranged in the single passage designated by the legend 10, and piles of two dimes are arranged in that passage having the designating legend 20. Each passage is of a width to receive the proper coin and is of a depth such that the uppermost coin of each pile will be flush with the top of the block.

Of the openings 7 there is a series of openings for each denomination of bills, 2'. e.

six openings for $1 bills and six each for 2s, 3s, ts, 5s, and 10s. Two one dollar bills may be arranged in the openings marked $2501 bunches of two $1., 2'. 6., two ones in each opening. In the openings marked $3. and $4. bunches of three ones and four ones are arranged.

In taking 11 from a $20. bill for instance, the cashier will slide into her hand four from the 10 passage, a 25 piece from the 25 passage, a 50 piece from the 50 passage, $41. from one of the openings designated by the legend $4., a $5. bill from one of the openings having the designating legend $5., and a $10. bill from one of the openings having the designating legend $10. The openings for the bills are from a}; to 1%,; inches deep, leaving about half the bill extending above the top of the table.

I claim:

A device of the character specified comprising a table having in the top at one end 7 thereof a series of transversely extending grooves of diflerent depths and having at termined denominations to hold the uppermost coin of each pile with its upper surfaoe in register With the top of the table, and said grooves opening at the front of the table, for the purpose specified.
